章節 311: The wedding (2)

"I will wash and comb your hair for you so it is as smooth as silk. I've heard the other young women speak of their mothers doing this for them," Jane said as she brushed Aurora's hair while Aurora sat in the water with flowers floating at the top."We have to make you the prettiest you've ever been since it is a day you will never forget." 

Aurora squeezed a rose seed she brought with her into the water and when opened her hand to watch it slowly grow into a rose. "Has your relationship with your mother gotten better?" She asked. It was sad to hear that Jane's mother had not prepared her for her wedding to Derek.

"We have not spoken to each other since the girls have come to live with us. I hope you do not mind if I act like your mother today. I will offer you whatever advice you need and calm your fears. It is an experience I wanted so I want you to have. I will try hard since I've been told I don't seem motherly," said Jane.
